bump it up

 

I think for the price of ITR pistons and shot peening your LS rods you could have pretty much had some forged pistons and eagle rods, but that's just me.

I was thinking the same thing. Why use ITR pistons for a boosted application? You'll be better off with stock LS pistons. I would at least get forged units for pistons.

 

yeah, i'd do away with the itr pistons. go with something for low comp

 

well i like the idea of a mid compression turbo setup because this gives me off boost driveability and response, i work at an acura dealer so i can get the itr's dirt cheap, and i was quoted $180 for all the machine work, including the boring and balancing, so this really is going to be a budget setup.
